Chapter 148 Shuhu Siji gave a promise

I have to say that although the Restoration Army is not good in field battles, it can even be said that it is very good, but it is still a little capable of defending according to the city.

After the defeat, for six days, the Jin Army infantry's storm had not taken any advantage.

They built two strongholds, which were horns with the city, and supported each other. They spread the horses, ravines, and iron briars widely, which made the golden cavalry's strengths unusable and could only be attacked by the infantry. However, under many obstacles, the infantry attacked. And very difficult.

They need to clear the path of attack while advancing, and in this case, they will inevitably be hit by the Restoration Army.

And that is the price that has to be paid.

Zhu Hu Siji went to the front line to command and used a large number of troops, and used light and heavy siege equipment such as crossbow arrows, firearms, and trebuchets to attack the Restoration Army camp, but with little success.

The Jin Army used bed crossbows to shoot at the Fort of the Restoration Army at a long distance, and used catapults to fire stone bullets and firearms to bombard the Fort of the Restoration Army. The offensive was very violent.

This did bring some trouble to the Restoration Army, but it was not that the Restoration Army would not fight back.

The heavy weapons of the Jin Army were also obtained by the Restoration Army in the siege of the city.

The Restoration Army obtained these weapons from the arsenal of the Jin Army, and found technical arms that could operate these weapons from the surrendered Jin soldiers, and quickly cultivated their own siege troops.

So the two sides shot each other with crossbows, and hurled stone bullets and firearms at each other with trebuchets.

The thick and long crossbow arrows are astonishingly powerful and have a great deterrent effect on the armies of both sides. The huge stone bullets and explosive firearms also have a great deterrent effect on both sides.

The weapons on both sides have the same range. In order to hit each other, you must enter the opponent's range to take risks and attack, and avoid the attack. If you are lucky, you can dodge it, but if you are not lucky, don't even think about it.

Since the start of the war, the Restoration Army has never been less than those who were smashed into minced meat by stone bullets or shot into strings by crossbow arrows.

Li Xiao, who was on the front line to command the defensive operations, saw with his own eyes that the three personal soldiers beside him were pierced by a thick and long crossbow arrow, and flew more than ten paces away because they were standing in the wrong position. , nailed to the ground.

He also saw a soldier who was running around carrying arrows not far in front of him and was hit by a stone bullet because of bad luck.

There was blood in his eyes.

But as a front-line leader, he must never retreat, never be afraid, but must face difficulties and show courage.

Su Yonglin told him that courage is very commendable, but there are many kinds of courage.

The lowest level is called the courage of blood. It is only temporary courage. It may suddenly erupt due to the stimulation of something, but then it will disappear quickly, and it will not change the cowardly nature.

True courage is the courage that can fill the whole heart, the courage that comes from the depths of the soul, no matter what kind of danger it encounters, it will never lose the motivation to move forward.

That is true courage.

Li Xiao deeply agreed with it, feeling that he used to be brave and ruthless.

How can we have true courage?

It should be that in the face of the overwhelming attack of golden soldiers, he will not back down or be afraid, and fight back sharply and achieve results.

That is true courage.

"Hold on! You must hold on! General Su will bring troops to help soon! The golden thief won't be arrogant for long! Counterattack! Counterattack!"

Li Xiao shouted loudly against the rain of arrows, flying stones and exploding firearms, and personally beat the drums to boost morale and encourage the soldiers to fight back bravely.

Li Xiao led the troops to fight hard, sticking to the front line for defensive operations, but Zhao Kaishan never appeared on the battlefield, but was always observing the situation here in the safety zone behind.

It's not that he doesn't want to inspect the battlefield, he's just too anxious.

He wholeheartedly hoped that Su Yonglin could arrive as soon as possible to lighten his burden. If Su Yonglin did not come for a day, he became even more anxious. He was so anxious that in the end he could not even get out of the central army tent, and he had no confidence.

Seeing the soldiers fighting to the death, the sounds of fierce battles on the battlefield can be heard in their ears, but in their hearts, they are always thinking about when Su Yonglin will come.

"Kaishan, don't you go out and inspect the battle?"

Zhao Zuoliang proposed to him.

Zhao Kaishan hesitated again and again but did not go out.

"I'm here waiting for Yuting to come."

Zhao Zuoliang knew that Zhao Kaishan was anxious, so he did not continue to propose.

Inspired by Li Xiao, the soldiers of the Restoration Army fought back against the Jin Army with long-range attack weapons similar to those of the Jin Army, causing a lot of trouble for the Jin Army.

The Jin army was never able to break through the blockade of the Restoration Army and attacked the main camp directly. The entire attack remained outside the blocking area, and progress was limited.

Shuhu Siji saw with his own eyes that the Restoration Army fought back fiercely, causing heavy damage to his troops with arrows, stone bullets and firearms, and felt very annoyed.

Even though he was defeated once, he was still able to fight back so fiercely!

Killing his soldiers, destroying his attacking equipment, the explosive firearms make a loud noise and thick smoke, and there is a very pungent smell, which will make you dizzy and uncomfortable after a long time.

Shuhu Siji even had to change positions to continue commanding operations because the smell of his position was so strong.

As the resistance of the Restoration Army was very intense, the Jin Army had to retreat for three consecutive attacks due to depletion of morale.

After the battle, Zhu Hu Siji returned to the barracks with a belly of fire, slamming the table hard.

"Not only did the thieves not surrender, but they also fought back against the imperial army so fiercely that they didn't know whether to live or die! Isn't there anyone who wants to be prosperous and rich?"

The officers did not dare to say anything.

The announcement of Zhao'an did not work as expected, and the Restoration Army's counterattack was unexpectedly tough, so that the Jin Army made very limited progress after the victory of the Wild War Front.

Zhu Husiji was very annoyed, and in addition to being annoyed, he also considered the depleting morale and felt that he had to do something.

"A large number of local people followed the rebel army along the Shandong East Road. These people are all traitors, they are all sinners of the court, and they deserve to die. Therefore, I think that our army will not only attack the rebel camps, but also punish those Rebel!"

As soon as Zhu Hu Siji said these words, all the officers' breathing became heavier involuntarily.

Guys, this is going to be done.

They looked at Zhuhu Siji expectantly.

Zhu Hu Siji did not disappoint them.

Zhu Hu Siji announced that starting today, the army will take turns to sweep the surrounding villages. As long as the villages are found, they can be looted and bloodbathed, without any subsequent responsibility, as a reward for the hard-working army.

The crowd will know and rejoice.

The grassroots soldiers learned about it, and they rejoiced, feeling that they finally had a chance to make a fortune.

Why don't they fight for money, grain and women? Without these promotions, why would they join the army with their heads up?
Now that the coach has finally made a public promise, the benefits are imminent, the morale of the Jin Army soldiers has been boosted, and the attack on the Restoration Army has become more fierce and sharp.

The long-range weapons were just as desperately projecting as they wanted money, and the troops responsible for clearing the obstacles were also more deadly.

Some desperate and fierce soldiers dared to directly enter the shooting range of the Restoration Army crossbow arrows with large shields. They took the risk of being shot into a sieve to pull out the horses, fill in the ravines, and sweep away obstacles such as caltrops. They fought very bravely.

This brought great trouble and shock to the Restoration Army.

They found that no matter how much they shot with crossbow arrows, they couldn't make these desperate guys retreat. Seeing that the defense facilities in front of the camp were destroyed bit by bit, they were really frightened.

If it wasn't for the news that Su Yonglin was about to bring troops to help spread throughout the entire military camp, everyone knew in their hearts that this battle would not necessarily be won.

During this period, the Jin Army had already determined the first army that could loot and slaughter by comparing their military exploits. Although they still failed to break through the blocking area of ​​the Restoration Army, they also greatly advanced the process.

So they were rewarded by the tactical tigers and thoughts - go and release the tyranny in your heart!

They set their sights on villages around Feixian that they had never set foot in before.

Anyway, the Restoration Army was suppressed by them in the camp and did not dare to attack. It is a very safe option for them to go to massacre, and they will make no loss.

So the villages around Fei County that had not been affected before really suffered.
